    Thanks Patrick.
    As Indicated in my previous post, I see fluid moving in the reservoir. I ungrounded the battery for 15 minutes (enough to lose all clock & raqdio presets) and the light is still on..
    You write that the light can indicate a problem with something in the brake system.. Could you expound on that please?
    Thanks

    Sometimes the brake system can develop a problem, for example maybe the brake pedal stroke sensor or a wheel sensor is bad. In rare cases the skid control ECU may need to be replaced.

    The VSC system is impaired since the warning light is on. I suggest that you visit your local Toyota dealer soon so that the DTC can be read and a diagnosis provided to you.

    Patrick, I have been away from the computer for several days and can just now reply to your last post. The light went out about two days after I ungrounded the battery.. So I guess I'm back in business.. Thanks for your information.
